Clemson Football: 5-star DE Jordan Burch chooses South Carolina

The 2020 Clemson football recruiting class will have to settle with six 5-stars in the cycle as the Tigers couldn’t come away with a commitment from 5-star DE Jordan Burch.

Burch, a product of Columbia, SC, announced Wednesday afternoon that he’d be attending the University of South Carolina in a decision that shocked many national recruiting experts.

The vast majority of analysts believed that LSU and Georgia were the leaders for Burch’s services followed by South Carolina in third-place.

In the end, his fandom and desire to be close to home won out and Burch instantly became the most talented player on South Carolina’s team.
